Police in the Oshana Region are investigating a case of rape after a 28-year-old woman, who is an intern doctor at the Oshakati Intermediate Hospital, was allegedly raped by a colleague who also works as an intern doctor.

It is alleged that the victim was in the suspect's flat in Ehenye over the weekend when she fell asleep. Upon waking up, she found herself naked, with the suspect sleeping next to her. Upon closer inspection, she saw discharge from her vagina and realised she was penetrated.

The suspect is known; however, he is not yet arrested as police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
